In New York State I would venture to say it's deer hunting. Nothing else seems to cause near as much controversy. Always deer hunting accidents, trespassers, poachers. Not to mention deceased deer in less than a state of glory tied onto a vehicle. I'm lucky that I have a large pickup with a cap and I place them inside on a piece of cardboard. I can remember taking a 7 point to the butcher a good number of years ago when my children were young and I had an SUV. The buck was on top tied to the rack. A car next to me beeped its horn to get my attention and as I looked 4-5 East Indian females all popped me 'the bird' and sped off. I can't honestly say that it didn't sour my mood for a short while.

I would say deer hunters only because of the popularity of the sport. I don't know how it is where you guys live but here a good buck makes the local papers and those pictures are not always edited as they should be. I can't think of any other animals that get the same coverage locally.

i think it is not what you hunt but how you hunt them
one of my friends got his first buck by shining fields and shooting it
thats not me i got my two deer the true way i worked hard for them and shot them with fair chase
i thinbk the way u hunt them is how it defines your charcter as a hunter

Most certainly in my area anyway deer hunters are #1, you have to be a relative to hunt anywhere in the area!!! Alot of what we call (CIT-IOTS) come from the city,buy 50 acres & just live there. Won't even let you walk the bush for sheds, I don't understand. Happy hunting...
